I asume that you removed every last remnant of the old GFX & Sound drivers. Dependant on the make & model there are removal tools for both types of hardware. You need to revert to a point where, after a reboot, windows Plug n Play wizard notifies you of newly found hardware. Also, if you were previously using onboard (mobo) sound hardware, you need to disable this through the BIOS menu at the system post.
Lastely, it is entirely possible that you are running out af available RAM. 1GB is generally enough
BUT if you have Windows managing your RAM and Page File size, it can & will crash any program that exceeds the set limits when it attempts to free up more resources for you. Set your Page File (aka Virtual RAM) to manual and at a figure around 3052 mb fixed. If possible make the page file resident on a partition other than your games location. Then reboot. To find you page file settings, navigate - Control Panel > System > Advanced > Performance > Advanced.
